Hello, I am new to ROR and was wondering if it is a viable solution to my project. I currently have a VB 6 application that is used to query a sql database and then dump into an excel or pdf file. My question is, how easy would it to be to write a web application that does the same thing? Additionally how would I go about doing this? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

This will help you with the PDFs : http://railscasts.com/episodes/78 Maybe this for CSV : http://satishonrails.wordpress.com/2007/06/28/how-to-generate-csv-files-in-rails/ I have both functionality in my app, although I do it differently. Also, my code is in the LIB directory, not in the controller. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
